Implementation of Fault Slip Through in Design Phase of the Project
Lovre Hribar, Sanja Bogovac, Zdenko Marinčić · 2008
Abstract: The Fault Slip Through (FST) process is a way to secure early, correct and cost effective fault detection through analysis of issued trouble reports. A way to secure that faults are found in the right phase; Right phase means the most cost-efficient phase. It is a (fault based) method for identifying improvement opportunities. A method of measuring how many percent of faults inserted in one phase of development are detected and corrected in a later phase of testing and/or operation. The process brings many advantages such as early correct and cost effective fault detection, enables fault slippage measurements, avoiding doing the same mistakes over and over again, less redundant testing and closer test coordination, improved quality and less stopping faults, shorter lead times and improved delivery precision and finally less resource consumption in the latest phases of the projects (cost efficiency). This article has shown that the FST from the process/method point of view should be very efficient in very large projects with a high complex solution. I.
